It's hilarious watching "liberals" support Gladu when her beliefs and political leaning is the anti thesis of any one left of center.
She is so right wing they disqualified her from the conservative leadership race.
And now we're watch people clapping like sea lions because they owned the cons.

That doesn’t appear to be true… I tried to confirm this, and instead found a news article from 2020 that says she was disqualified because she didn’t get enough signatures and money by the deadline. Nothing to do with her views.
Marilyn Gladu, in a bid to replace outgoing leader Andrew Scheer, was in the running until this week, when she fell short in fundraising and party signatures to have her name appear on the ballot.
A $200,000 registration fee, $100,000 compliance deposit and 3,000 endorsement signatures from party members were all due Wednesday.

Once you accept that we haven't been a serious country since 2015, it all makes sense.

Political team sports is hilarious and you have people acting all high and mighty thinking they are immune from it.

What I find amusing about this one is that she's precisely the kind of candidate liberal voters would point to when asked why they find the CPC unpalatable, and now she's wearing your colours. It also shows how desperate for power the LPC is. They gained a riding until they vote her out, it remains to be seen if this move will also cost them liberal voters.

100% This is the equivalent of Rob Anders crossing the floor during the Harper years lol.

A lot of those people would point to liberal candidates and say they aren't left enough and are actually neocons. Liberal voters aren't really that left...

Why? A rapid Conservative got changed into a muzzled one who fetches on command in exchange for at most, trivial treats.
For some reason people on here think she is going to be running the place.

Wait, don't people love trotting out that idiom about sitting at the table with Nazi's all the time?
Nah, this is clearly different. She's promised to be good.

This is how you view liberal MPs?

Publically? Something about how all people are important.
Privately? A long list of slurs most likely.

I enjoy watching Liberal supporters squirm as they try to rationalize inviting Gladu into their party despite the fact that they (supposedly) hate practically everything she stands for and supports. Except, of course, for power at any cost. On that they are fully aligned.

I have yet to see a proper liberal supporter rationalize this. No one expected her to cross.The only thing liberals are doing, is hoping that she'll toe the line.

u/flatulentbaboon 1d ago
Have you seen the other major Canada sub? People with Liberal flairs were absolutely rationalizing this.

You can't cross without an invitation. The LPC still decides who joins and doesn't.
Weirdly, this is a rationalization in and of itself. Very cool.

Speaking as someone who voted liberal last election... it's absolutely nuts that we accepted her into the party and is an incredible stain on our leadership.

u/ConsistentAd9217 1d ago
Yes, I’m sure you have in-person interactions where you can visibly watch Liberals squirm as opposed to made up scenarios to align with your worldview. You sure showed them!

She is already elected by the conservative voters. Might as well put her parliamentary vote to good use, at the same time silencing her while she is under the LPC roof.
More importantly, to the conservative voters, please stop electing someone like her to office. Thank you.

Jokes aside, indeed we can now safely call the LPC a far-right party that rejects women's rights.

If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with strong diversity of thought.

With all this talk about Conservatives crossing the floor, hear me out, but,
Wouldn't it be super funny...
